OK I am a Holy Rollin Bible thumpin Jesus Freak.
I answer the questions of Atheist, Anti Christians, Pagans, Wiccans, Unitarian Universalist, Mormons, Muslims Every Day.
In order to have any communication at all I need to understand that their beliefs may be the most base part of their being. I know mine are to me. So I communicate with that mindset. I don't think I've been disrespectful of anyone yet.
GOD bless ya!

You need to respect other peoples opinions as well as
their religious beliefs, you wouldn't like it if somebody
didn't respect you or your beliefs.!?

I have a friend who is a Christian-although she swears up and down that being non-denominational means that she isn't xtian.
I never tell her that she is wrong or naive or delusional. I suppport her in her endeavor to live her life according to her values. I don't use her mistakes or failures as an opportunity to demonstrate that her religion is flawed.
She knows that I don't believe some of the things she does, but she doesn't try to save me. She does not judge me or discount my wisdom, just because it comes from a different perspective.

To be respectful means that one should not hate nor treat someone differently due to religious belief. Also violence is a big no no. But there is nothing wrong with evangelizing the good news if done respectfully.

That I don't tell other people they are wrong for having the beliefs they do even when I don't agree with them.

Everyone believes in something different, therefore no one belief is the correct belief. So be respectful and dont discriminate because of there beliefs, and dont tell them there beliefs are wrong.

It means stifling your distaste, disgust and astonishment for some of the outrageous beliefs and practices of a large percentage of your fellow humans.

To avoid ridiculing the person or being prejuduced against the person just for being different from you. To allow and even encourage them to act in keeping with their beliefs as long as they are not harmful to themselves or others.

For me, it's giving them the freedom, and fighting for that freedom, to believe as they want. Of which, I expect the same respect. If I don't get it, then I no longer extend that courtesy.
